Main Object Clauses

  1. To carry on the business of civil construction and civil engineering, including the construction of roads, highways, bridges, flyovers, dams, tunnels, railways, airports and other infrastructure projects, and to undertake turnkey, engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) and public-private-partnership (PPP) projects.
  2. To carry on the business of building construction, including residential, commercial, industrial and institutional buildings, and to provide architectural planning, structural design, project management consultancy and supervision services in connection therewith.
  3. To manufacture, trade, hire and deal in construction materials, ready-mix concrete, prefabricated structures, construction equipment and machinery, and to operate stone quarries, crushers and material processing units where permitted by law.
  4. To carry on the business of real estate development ancillary to construction activities, including development of townships, industrial parks, smart-city components and infrastructure facilities, subject to applicable approvals.

NIC Code: 41/42 — Construction of buildings (41); Civil engineering (42)

Related Licences & Registrations

  • Contractor Registration (CPWD/State PWD): Required to bid for government construction tenders — graded by project value capacity.
  • GST Registration: Mandatory; works contracts are taxed at 18% (12% for specified government projects).
  • EPF & ESI Registration: Compulsory once you employ 20+ (EPF) or 10+ (ESI) workers — construction headcount crosses these fast.
  • Labour Licences (BOCW Act): Registration under the Building and Other Construction Workers Act is required for construction establishments with 10+ workers.

ROC Filing Notes

  • Construction objects attract attention to paid-up capital — MCA expects the capital to be credible for the scale claimed. Do not promise “highways and dams” with ₹1 lakh capital; it invites a query.
  • Keep quarrying and mining in a conditional clause (“where permitted by law”); mineral extraction needs separate state leases and unconditional objects overstate authority.
  • If the company will also do real estate sales (not just construction), add development and sale clauses — pure construction objects do not comfortably cover property dealing.
